Abstract
A wearable device comprises, a first unit cell that includes a haptic-feedback generator and the haptic-feedback generator is located at a first position on the wearable device. The device includes a second unit cell that includes another haptic-feedback generator, the other haptic-feedback generator is located at a second position that is adjacent to the first position. The device includes a connection between the first unit cell and the second unit cell, the connection being adjustable to move the first unit cell away from the first position or the second unit cell away from the second position. The device also includes a processor that is configured to: cause a size adjustment to either the haptic-feedback generator or the other haptic-feedback generator to provide, a first haptic feedback, and cause a positional adjustment, via the connection, to move the haptic-feedback generator away from the first position to provide a second haptic feedback.
